Abstract

Residual stresses were measured in hardened and tempered specimens after unidirectional plastic extension. X-ray and strain gage-layer removal methods were compared. Anomalous residual stresses were found in extended samples at hardnesses of Rc 32–35. The X-ray method indicated compressive residual stresses of nearly constant magnitude through ⅓ the thickness of flat samples, while the strain gagelayer removal method indicated that no macrostress existed. A constant anomalous residual stress was also seen by X-ray through ⅗ the thickness of a cylindrical specimen deformed uniformly in tension. Little or no anomalous stress was found in an extended specimen at Re 55 or in a specimen at Rc 44 after uniform bending.
